Delete a task or plan

Note:Want to close or archive a plan instead of deleting? This is not currently supported in Planner. We have some suggestions for how to handle closing a plan, and we'd love to hear your ideas. Leave us your feedback, or vote on features that others have suggested, at planner.uservoice.com.

Tasks

To delete a task on the Board, first select the task to open it. Then, select the three dots to the right of the Due date box, and choose Delete.

Warning: There is no way to recover a deleted task. If you accidentally delete a task, you'll need to recreate it from scratch.

Plans

Every plan is also an Office 365 Group. When you delete a plan, you also permanently delete the group. This removes all group conversations, email, files, calendar events, and related information. You must be a group administrator to delete a plan.

Members: Leave plans to remove them

If you're not the administrator, you can't delete the plan. Instead, you can leave the plan to remove it from your Planner hub.

To leave a plan, select the three dots below the plan name, and then choose Leave plan.

Administrators: Delete plans

If you're the administrator, you can edit the group to delete it.

Warning: When you delete a plan, there is no way to recover the group or its information. All group conversations, email, files, calendar events, and related information will be permanently removed.

To delete a plan, select the three dots below the plan name, and then choose Edit plan.

On the box that appears, select Delete Plan. A message appears to verify that you also want to permanently delete the Office 365 Group.
